Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6: (107 commits)
  vfs: use ERR_CAST for err-ptr tossing in lookup_instantiate_filp
  isofs: Remove global fs lock
  jffs2: fix IN_DELETE_SELF on overwriting rename() killing a directory
  fix IN_DELETE_SELF on overwriting rename() on ramfs et.al.
  mm/truncate.c: fix build for CONFIG_BLOCK not enabled
  fs:update the NOTE of the file_operations structure
  Remove dead code in dget_parent()
  AFS: Fix silly characters in a comment
  switch d_add_ci() to d_splice_alias() in "found negative" case as well
  simplify gfs2_lookup()
  jfs_lookup(): don't bother with . or ..
  get rid of useless dget_parent() in btrfs rename() and link()
  get rid of useless dget_parent() in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c
  fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers
  drivers: fix up various ->llseek() implementations
  fs: handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly in all fs's that define their own llseek
  Ext4: handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA generically
  Btrfs: implement our own ->llseek
  fs: add SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flags
  reiserfs: make reiserfs default to barrier=flush
  ...

Fix up trivial conflicts in fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_super.c due to the new
shrinker callout for the inode cache, that clashed with the xfs code to
start the periodic workers later.

 	->get_sb() is gone.  Switch to use of ->mount().  Typically it's just
 a matter of switching from calling get_sb_... to mount_... and changing the
 function type.  If you were doing it manually, just switch from setting ->mnt_root
 to some pointer to returning that pointer.  On errors return ERR_PTR(...).

+	->permission(), generic_permission() and ->check_acl() have lost flags
+argument; instead of passing IPERM_FLAG_RCU we add MAY_NOT_BLOCK into mask.
+	generic_permission() has also lost the check_acl argument; if you want
+non-NULL to be used for that inode, put it into ->i_op->check_acl.

+	If you implement your own ->llseek() you must handle SEEK_HOLE and
+SEEK_DATA.  You can hanle this by returning -EINVAL, but it would be nicer to
+support it in some way.  The generic handler assumes that the entire file is
+data and there is a virtual hole at the end of the file.  So if the provided
+offset is less than i_size and SEEK_DATA is specified, return the same offset.
+If the above is true for the offset and you are given SEEK_HOLE, return the end
+of the file.  If the offset is i_size or greater return -ENXIO in either case.
+
+[mandatory]
+	If you have your own ->fsync() you must make sure to call
+filemap_write_and_wait_range() so that all dirty pages are synced out properly.
+You must also keep in mind that ->fsync() is not called with i_mutex held
+anymore, so if you require i_mutex locking you must make sure to take it and
+release it yourself.

 Whoever sets up the inode is responsible for filling in the "i_op" field. This
 is a pointer to a "struct inode_operations" which describes the methods that
 can be performed on individual inodes.
